AC Transit to make service cuts

OAKLAND, Calif. — Starting in March 2010, AC Transit will cut service by more than eight percent, reducing bus frequency and consolidating routes. The cuts are intended to close a budget gap widened by state budget cuts and rising costs for employee benefits. For the full story, click here.

Tier One modernizes 300 stops along two of GRTC’s busiest routes with each stop receiving upgrades that include new flags with clearly visible route and bus stop numbers as well as eye-level, easy-to-use printed schedule and map information.

The 8.3-mile route, with a proposed 27 stops, would replace the Capital Area Transportation Authority’s current Route 1 from downtown Lansing to the Meridian Mall. Results from the plan’s environmental assessment study are expected to be shared at a public hearing this fall.
